Block Management Holloway

Holloway 's No 1 Managing agent

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a ' money back guarantee ’.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

Block Management Overview

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.

As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a 'money back guarantee'.

We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.


Block Management Reviews

"Since starting at Denham film studios, the caretaker has been hardworking, reliable and very helpful. He is committed to making the film studios a better place to live. I’ve had several issues over the last few months which have been so much easier to deal with due to his support, knowledge and guidance. Thank you very much."

"We have had a problem with noise from the flat above us in Lady Isle House Ferry Court Cardiff. We contacted a Mr Paul Staniforth who immediately became involved and addressed the situation. We really do appreciate what he has done for us and cannot thank him enough. Once again a big thank you to Mr Staniforth. The noise above was intolerable."

History of Holloway

Holloway, located in the northern part of Islington, has a history that dates back to at least the 13th century. The name "Holloway" is believed to come from either "hollow," referring to a dip in the road used by cattle, or "hallow," connected to its role as a pilgrimage route. The area was home to the early villages of Tollington and Stroud, which are still reflected in local names today. By the late 17th century, Holloway had established its identity as a village and remained mostly rural until the 19th century. With the opening of Upper Holloway station in 1868 and Holloway Road station in 1906, the area became more connected to central London, sparking rapid growth and urbanization.

By the early 20th century, Holloway had transformed into a bustling shopping center, with key landmarks such as the Odeon Cinema (originally the Gaumont) and Holloway Prison, which became the UK’s main women’s prison. The area also suffered significant bombing during World War II due to its proximity to King's Cross. In recent decades, Holloway has seen gentrification, with new luxury housing developments emerging around Arsenal Stadium and ongoing regeneration projects, especially around the Nag's Head area. This blend of rich history and modern growth makes Holloway a dynamic and evolving part of London.
